Ukrainian army will
not go on offensive first – Poroshenko
(Interfax) --- "I am very hopeful
that very soon we will see the Ukrainian territories freed, but I stress once again:
Ukraine has strictly abided by the Minsk agreements, so the Ukrainian armed
forces will not go on the offensive first," Poroshenko said during a visit
to the Shyroky Lan training base in the Mykolaiv region, his press office said
on Saturday.
The aim of the
large-scale exercise that was held at the training range near Mykolaiv is to
boost the country's defensive capabilities, Poroshenko said.
The president
praised the professionalism and high-level skills of the troops present at the
training site, many of whom were mobilized. "The lion's share of our
military servicemen came from the fourth wave of the mobilization. Look what a
high level they have achieved within just over a month or two," Poroshenko
said.
The exercise
attests to the revival of Ukrainian armed forces over the past year, Poroshenko
said.
"We are
preparing to defend our country. There is an aggressor, an enemy in Ukraine now,
and we must do all we can on our part to provide efficient defense. Those who
today are taking part in these drills have brilliantly demonstrated their high
level. Today the Ukrainian army is one of the most combat-capable,"
Poroshenko said.
